Huntington High has filled one vacancy, but is still seeking a football coach.

Paul Glynn, who taught and coached at Huntington for two different stints from 1989 to 1991, has been hired as athletic director, boys basketball and boys track coach.

Glynn coached for seven years at Monterey before getting out of teaching. He has officiated basketball games also.

&uot;I just looked at the direction the program was heading in and how they are trying to make a push academically and athletically,&uot; Glynn said. &uot;I decided I wanted to be a part of it.&uot;

Glynn said there is also the possibility he may coach the junior varsity football.

&uot;But athletic director is a duty I have never had before and I want to make sure I have all the paperwork in line during the football season,&uot; he said. &uot;But that could change, depending on how things work out.&uot;

Glynn said he missed working with kids.

&uot;It’s different than officiating,&uot; he said. &uot;I’ve always enjoyed coaching and working with the kids.&uot;

Huntington football and boys track coach Jay Murphree and athletic director Greg Weatherly, who also coached in football, basketball and baseball, resigned at the end of the past school season.

Huntington booster club president Randy Miller said six candidates have been interviewed for the football position.

&uot;Hopefully we can name someone pretty quick,&uot; Miller said. &uot;We’ve got some really good candidates, we just have to get some things worked out.&uot;

Adams County Christian School graduate Matt Mason applied for the Huntington football position.

&uot;I’m waiting to hear back from them,&uot; he said. &uot;They haven’t made an offer and until they do, I’m not sure what I am going to do.&uot;

Mason will be in his second year at Copiah Academy this fall. He has been promoted to defensive coordinator of the football team and head baseball coach.

&uot;Leaving the baseball position would be tough,&uot; he said. &uot;But I’m still waiting to see what happens.&uot;
